The theme for my daughter's birthday was pink ombre, black and white stripes, and shapes. We held the party in our 1000 square foot apartment. I wanted to share this with your readers to show that it is possible to have a birthday in a small space!

In our apartment, we have a wall of four BILLY bookcases with doors on the bottom half. I covered the exposed part of my bookcases with foam core to create a pretty neutral backdrop for my streamers and shape garlands.

For dessert, I made a pink ombre cake. The cake topper was made by cutting shapes out and painting them in the same fashion as the garlands, and then gluing them to a bamboo skewer covered in gold glitter. I topped them off with a little streamer fringe!

Then we moved my desk and the armless chairs in front of the bookcases, which opened the room up and created the perfect space for our little party.

Thanks, Jesyka! Readers, you can read more about the party over at Jesyka's blog.
